Not sure where you've looked so far to find this, but it does exist. The name of the entity is PartyCarrierAccount.

To find stuff like this the easiest thing is to browse around either the entitymodel.xml file or the Entity Reference pages in WebTools. The best place to start in either is the entities related to the Party entity, as you're looking for information attached to a party.

Hope that helps, and best of luck.

This will give us the ability to capture the shipping account info for a party. So at least we could populate a notes field to notify sales reps. But we would still need to create any logic, right? For example, when selecting a shipment method look for content mechs for the party on the order of type "Shipping Account" or something like that. That still doesn't give us the ability to pass an alternate billing account number to the shipping company. We would have to take this all the way to it's logical conclusion in order to automate.

Is it possible to use different shipping accounts for calculating rates and getting tracking number and labels based on the Party on an order? For example, a large retailer such as Wal-Mart would want all shipments charged to their UPS or FedEx accounts to take advantage of the volume discounts they have negotiated with shippers. I do not see anywhere in Party Profile to add Shipping Accounts.

As I think about this I am not optimistic this can be done since these accounts are setup in a properties file.

Any ideas on a workaround would be appreciated.
